| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 2dr Hatch 180-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
A fastback car with actual usable back seats! Coupes tend to have cramped back setas, but in this case it is very comfortable sitting in the back for extended periods of time. see full Scion tC review |

| 2011 | 4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed automatic FWD |
Wide bench seat with no humps. Middle passenger has good leg room where many other vehicles have a large hump to straddle. see full Ford Escape review |

| 2012 | 4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed automatic FWD |
It's a tad bit tight in the drivers seat. I have to postion the seat just right to avoid hitting my right knee on the center console, and I frequently hit the light switch when getting out. I'm only 5'9", so not that large of a person. see full Ford Escape review |
